SvForest bathing – a quiet adventure for the soul
Imagine walking slowly among tall spruces and soft moss, where the sunlight filters through the crowns of the trees and the birdsong is the only thing that breaks the silence. Here, in the deep Bergslag forests around Färna Herrgård, a forest bath awaits – a natural ritual that calms your mind, lowers your heart rate and awakens your senses.
Forest bathing is not a swim, but a meditative experience where you let nature embrace you – fully. Barefoot on dewy moss, your hand on a warm pine trunk, breathing in time with the wind whispering through the leaves.
Here you can let go of the noise of everyday life – and return with clearer thoughts, lighter heart and deeper breath.
Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku as it is actually called, came about in the 1980s and was coined in Japan with the aim of reducing stress by maki ng use of all the impressions and assets of the forest.
Our location between the nature reserve and the ecopark provides fantastic opportunities for forest bathing. Here there are walking paths, two easily accessible lakes and beautiful, old forest with green oases that can become a sanctuary just for you. Our staff at reception will be happy to give you a map of the area.
Welcome to experience the healing power of nature!
